Does Heroku add cookies to my hosted web app?

I'm seeing cookies on several of my Heroku hosted web apps.

Why are they there? Do you see them too?

Those look like google analytics cookies. Atleast on my website. blog.malloc64.com, if I disable the google analytics (by disabling javascript), I did not get any cookies installed. I think you have the google analytics tracker installed on the page.
